Radish 'Shunkyo'

Shunkyo radish is our favorite variety for many reasons. The 5"-long root has a sweet and mildly spicy flavor with a fine texture. It is slow to bolt, so there's no hurry to harvest. It can be sown throughout the season for a continuous supply because it doesn't mind the heat. The edible greens are prickle-free.

This marvelous radish comes from Northern China. It is also known as Shunkyo Semi-Long.

Sowing Radish Seeds
